Advice on getting a boyfriend in high school?

[Anonymous]

So we just started school again and I'm looking for a relationship. Not anything too serious, just a sweet, simple one.
I notice guys checking me out and making eye contact with me in the halls, but they never approach me..
Any tips on how to change that?
Also, boys, when you were in high school, how would have felt to have a random girl approach you?

Look. Don't play games. Relationships ARE serious and always is. If you don't take it seriously, then they won't take you seriously. That is a fine way to get hurt, used and abused. "I notice guys checking me out and making eye contact with me in the halls..." you DON'T want those kinds of guys. Leave them players and lustful boys alone. It's no different in college as well and a after college. Like a few users have said which is true, your better off waiting. You don't want to wait till 'adulthood' to start acting like an adult. Right now as a teenager, you ARE a young adult and much is to be expected of you. The same with guys getting older. They see you don't have anything then they won't want you, seriously. Only to pump and dump and find a successful woman he can relate to. What you can do however, is think about what it is your looking for in dating, relationships and perhaps marriage, your views, principles and morals about love, sex and marriage overall. Where you think sex and such should take place, etc. That is what is going to matter. Not dumb boys looking 'cute'.

Just wait, trust me its a LOT better to wait for someone worthwhile. From my experience of going to 4 different highschools, pretty much all the guys that aren't frigid are just thirsty, they just want to get laid and they don't care about you as a person. I've been through the whole 9 yards, don't waste your time.

I believe crushes and such just comes to you by itself faster and easier if you aren't looking for them :) happened to me :)

Get to know some guys. See which ones you have an instant connection with. Love happens on its own, you can't force it.

The best advice is to wait until you are out of high school before even thinking about getting a boyfriend.

Right now, you should concentrate on making you the best you that you can be. That means studying hard, getting good grades, getting an after school job. These are the things that will make or break your standard of living for the next 70 years out of high school. Compare that to the one to four years in high school.

Get involved in events make friends through clubs and they will give you access to guys

Thanks For MHO!!!

just because people look at you doesn't mean they're interested. in fact they probably think you were looking at them first

[Asker]

That definitely could be the case

[Taciturn]

lol yeah, don't infer to anything from body language unless it's blatantly suggestive. you don't know the amount of people with social anxiety or shyness and little control with their body movements. I'm one of them, and I probably emit unintentional signs all the time

over their*

I wouldn't recommend trying to get one. finish your school and when it's time to make a decision that start looking for a relationship, getting involved at this moment can distract you from your future goals and if things don't end well than the wound won't heal up that easily either

good luck 👍

Try and make a move yourself. You will appear confident, out-going and fun to be around. But like @BurntToast99 said: don't just get a boyfriend because you want one, if it happens it happens but don't force it ;)

[BurntToast99]

Don't get a boyfriend just cause u feel like getting one. Get a boyfriend for a better purpose than that...

[Goku_says]

Don't bother wait till your 18 because guys under that age only want one thing, your all confused at that age and don't know what your want so don't force it , you'll know when the time is right

[Jaquani]

Wait for there to be a party, get drunk, and talk to them then. Parties can be hell but they can also be super fun if you find someone great to spend your time with.

I can't relate to your situation, It's hard to find guys who are good enough.

[tartaarsaus]

I'd be flattered if a girl approaches me, but they never do.

[WeirdoWerdo]

Random girl? I'd be as red as a tomato... Shy guy here!

[desireee512]

if you aren't looking for anything serious then you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. you just want to be in one because everyone else is in one. you're only just going to get hurt. trust me

[Whatthefluff]

Approach them. Eye contact means you can initiate a conversation.

[danielsamson]

guys are more likely to approach girls who are alone

[OmgItsJoe123]

Advice, don't try to get a boyfriend in high school.

[daddysir77]

In high school, all you need is boobs. In adulthood, you need the things that matter

[king34]

smile and be friendly

[datgirl]

Dating in high school ain't worth it.
